Spring 2025
Dr. Samuel Okeolu Omogoye is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Lagos State University of Science and Technology (LASUSTECH). A Spring 2025 MIT-ETT Fellow, he is a specialist in Power System Resilience and Renewable Energy Integration. He currently serves as the Acting Director of the Directorate of Research, Innovation, and Development (DRID) at LASUSTECH. His research focuses on ensuring the reliability of power grids during extreme weather events. Specifically, he develops Predictive Failure Models that analyze how “High-Impact, Low-Probability” (HILP) events—like hurricanes or severe storms—affect distribution networks. His work uses Bayesian Networks and statistical algorithms to predict line outages before they happen, allowing grid operators to take proactive measures to prevent blackouts. Dr. Omogoye holds a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Cape Town (UCT), South Africa, and an M.Sc. from the University of Lagos. His doctoral research on “Power System Network Resilience Enhancement” has been published in high-impact journals like IEEE Access and The Journal of Engineering. As a recent participant in the MIT-ETT program, Dr. Omogoye is committed to modernizing engineering education at LASUSTECH. He advocates for “Community-Based Engineering,” integrating his research on Solar-Photovoltaic Systems into student projects that aim to provide sustainable power solutions for local communities in Lagos State. He is a registered engineer with COREN and a member of the IEEE.
